How was Durant’s return?

Though the Nets lost 113-107, Durant finished with 31 points to his name. One could say that Durant’s just getting used to the court again, and will only look to play better with the Nets as a team.

Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 30 points.

“I felt great,” Durant said. “I’m only going to get better, more comfortable out there.”

With the next game scheduled against the Boston Celtics, Durant and the Nets will certainly look for a win.

How is the Lakers’ season going?

On the other hand, the Lakers continue to struggle with four straight losses. Despite James’ 28.9 PPG average, the team with Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis onboard has failed to meet the expectations.

The Lakers are currently placed ninth in the Western Conference, which qualifies them for the play-in tournament before the playoffs.

Both Durant and James are easily two of the best players in the league right now. Though any interaction between the two is always appreciated, one can never tire of James hyping up another icon.
